A poem for Edie, by Gerard Malanga, published in Lid Magazine.
LAST WORD...
Coming Up For Air
for Edie
The face that grows out from the magazine
covers some simple indication
that long earrings are coming
back into fashion
At the parties that once were
beginning over
night in the city
limits, and the surprise
package or whatever explains the false
hood of logic to keep us
guessing at the eventual sun
rise, brings me home
in the film of our favorite soft
drink starring you.
Gerard Malanga
